The Twins have had one of the worst 5 offeseasons so far???
Posted 29 December 2013 - 07:03 PM
While I can see why some aren't extremely positive about the future of any of our free agent signings, I don't understand how what they've done can be considered bad. He suggests we should have saved the money from signing all 3 starters and gone after Tanaka. That's fine, but the money from those 3 combined won't be anywhere near enough to sign Tanaka and even if we did save money to make him a big offer where would we be if he got a bigger offer elsewhere or just doesn't have any interest in playing in MN? Doing that seems like it would be similar to what Seattle did with Cano and he ranks them last for trying to improve by spending all their money on one player.
With where our payroll is and the prospects we have coming up, I just don't see where any of our signings made us worse or tied up money that we will need in the near future.
P.S. While I'm ranting, his list of the top 5 offseasons is even more baffling to me.
He seems to be basing most of his top 5 (excluding the Cardinals at #1) rankings on two things:
1. Assumptions that the Yankees and Tigers are still going to sign more players. (I'm sure the Yankees will, but I don't know how he factors into current rankings).
2. Teams that have been successful in the past must be smart now. He seriously questions much of what the Rays, Tigers, or Rangers have done, but figures it will work out because they have solid teams. I agree all 3 have great teams, but I don't know that it makes their offseasons great.

To say the Nolasco, coming off possibly his best season to date, only 31, and helping stabilize the worst starting staff in baseball was not a good signing is short-sighted if not blind. Even if he isn't coming n to his own a bit late n his career, if he only pitched to his career average norms he is a vast improvement and stabilizing force that gives the Twins a chance to win any given day.
Granted Hughes has never reached the heights predicted for him, not close, nor has he found real consistency. However, he's definitely young enough to improve and yet harness at least some of that talent and potential. For some seasons, and parts thereof, he has shown flashes. This, combined with a change of scenery, and removing him from perhaps the worst ballpark he could have pitched in for half his career, (the various numbers and splits have been gone over extensively to this point), is also a quality signing, and again, only a broken crystal ball could possibly tell you this was some sort of mistake at this point.
Not getting in to the debate here about Pelfrey vs Correia being somehow redundant of a signing as each is nothing special, both eat innings, should only keep one of them, etc, etc. But Pelfrey is an inning eater vet, signed to only 2 years, and to not a very large contract to muck up payroll. He is a good teammate, and offers improvement potential now stronger and better recovered from surgery.
These two guys provide depth and OPTIONS for the Twins. Depth and options that were previously filled the past couple of seasons by AAA filler.
Again, not a bad signing for these stated reasons.
Suzuki in place of Doumit for back up C? I'd take Suzuki all day long.
Even a healthy Bartlett and Kubel are inexpensive, low risk signing that may prove much ado about nothing. But there is potential for a return on either of them in some helpful capacity. And I don't believe TR and the Twins are done yet.
But as was pointed out by TwnsTerritory, what else were they to do? Put all their eggs in one long-shot basket, cross their fingers and hope?

Has it been a turn-around offseason to this point? No. But, have they made themselves better? Absolutely. And they've done it without hurting/touching the great minor league system and depth. Is it Top 5? No, but it's certainly nowhere near the bottom five.
But, I agree with the thought that the teams that have the perception of doing things right and such are high on the list. Tampa is certainly not a #2 at this point just because of signing Loney.
Posted 29 December 2013 - 10:03 PM
It's incredible to me that someone would actually pay for garbage analysis like that. I think we just write this one off to, "consider the source," and move on.
That's a kind way to put it. I'd be more inclined to use more profanity and wage internet campaigns to stop anyone from ever reading his tripe again, but to each his own.
Seriously, this has been a B+/A- offseason for the Twins. The signings they made will make us a much, MUCH better team. And TR did them in a way to keep maximum flexibility going forward (1 FA pitcher coming off the books each year for 4 years). How you could denigrate his efforts is entirely beyond me.

There are some people out there who are just the wrong side of average.
Posted 29 December 2013 - 10:34 PM
Hard to say addressing your primary need with a couple of the better pieces out there for sane contracts is bad.
Posted 30 December 2013 - 06:01 AM
Posted 30 December 2013 - 07:21 AM
Not so sure I would go that far... but it is credibly written, at least.
I'm willing to give credit for the moves made so far as a step in the right direction. Pelfrey is a bone of contention for many, seemingly a 'return to form' for TR. That just makes reports that TR is still in on Arroyo and even in the mix on Tanaka all the harder to square.
Feels like another move or two might be possible, so grading now feels premature. Still, the Twins addressed their most glaring needs in a pretty realistic way. That alone merits a positive, and in no way can be seen as 'bottom 5'. What a joke.

This is my favorite aspect of the article(s). The Rays retained a 2.7 WAR first baseman, a guy coming off his best season since 2007. They, uh, picked up a couple of relievers as well. Relievers. Yay.
Great pickups, obviously the second best in all of MLB this offseason! Because the Rays are GREAT! Obviously, retaining Loney was smart because the Rays are smart, right? Right? There's no way a smart team could make a bad bet on a guy after a bounceback season. That's unpossible.
The guy should be embarrassed for himself. Talk about letting the tail wag the dog. Decent pickups by good teams become great pickups because the team is good. Decent pickups by bad teams become bad pickups because the team is awful.
Obviously, the Twins should have pursued Tanaka. They were a 66 win team. At that point, you don't try to shoot for respectability as the farm matures. You lay it all on black and go big; that's why Zack Greinke has so many championship rings. The cornerstone of any good franchise is an ace pitcher, particularly a guy who will command $100m+ and hasn't thrown a pitch in an MLB game. He's basically a lock for the HoF at this point.
The amount of facepalm I'm feeling right now is hard to capture in words. Such a travesty of an article from front to back.

Twins got decent intermediate pitchers to improve a rotation that was the worst in baseball. Will all of the signing work(probably not), but if 2 of the 3 pitchers signed have decent seasons, major strides will have been made.
There's more to it than that... If the Rays played in Target Field and made these same pickups, Baer would probably be all over the moves, praising their ingenuity and taking good bets on promising players.
My issue with this article is that he's allowing his perception of these moves to be changed by the team that signs the player. Nolasco and Hughes were smart pickups by the Twins; guys who have underperformed various metrics through their careers and could benefit greatly from Target Field and a quiet Minnesota media spotlight.
Will these players work out for the Twins? No one can say but that doesn't mean they're not good gambles with upside that improve one of the worst rotations in baseball. To suggest that the Twins, a team that needed three starting pitchers, should go after Tanaka instead of shoring up the rest of the rotation is comically bad analysis. You can argue that they should also go after Tanaka but arguing that one (potentially) very good starting pitcher is worth more than 2-3 mediocre/good ones on a team that won 61 pythagorean games last season is worthy of all the derision it's receiving in this thread.
Really, I can't get over just how awful these two articles are from an analysis standpoint. They're easily two of the worst baseball articles I've read in quite some time. Just horrible.

The Rays gave multiple years to Loney and signed Dejesus to an extension. And the Yankees have spent most of the their money without getting one starter (other than Kuroda) if they actually plan to stay under the luxury tax (talked about for years). And they will be starting Kelly Johnson and Eduardo Nunez in the infield.

I can't help but laugh at the fact that he put the Yankees at #5 after signing Ellsbury to a seven (!) year contract, a guy who has posted an OPS+ over 100 twice in his career, but put the Mariners at #30 for signing Cano to a ten year deal, a guy who has posted an OPS+ under 100 just once in his career.
I wouldn't want either of those guys under contract but if I had to take one of them, it'd be Cano because he's basically guaranteed to be a superstar player for another 2-4 years if healthy.

Posted 30 December 2013 - 10:41 AM
and, judging Ellsbury on OPS is pretty lazy Brock.
Posted 30 December 2013 - 10:56 AM
Not sure how it bottom five, but the allocation of resources to Pelfrey and KC both, when the smartest GM ever just traded for Worley and you have Gibson and Deduno, and your offense is terrible, well, it is not an A offseason for me yet.
and, judging Ellsbury on OPS is pretty lazy Brock.
I've judged Ellsbury's contract on multiple occasions using far more than OPS. If you want me to rehash that argument for the twentieth time, I can do so.
For example, Ellsbury is a 30 year old signed to a seven year contract. Here are his WAR numbers by year:
1.4, 4.1, 2.1, 9.1, 1.4, 5.8.
There are way too many low numbers in there for a guy being paid over $21m a year through his age 36 season.
Hell, some around here crucify Mauer and his paycheck and he has posted a WAR under 3.0 twice in his career. His rookie season (injured) and 2011 (injured).
Posted 30 December 2013 - 11:21 AM
All I know is this is the best offseason the Twins have had in years. If this is a bottom 5 year, I wonder how 2008 or 2011 should be judged.
Posted 30 December 2013 - 11:25 AM
Posted 30 December 2013 - 11:29 AM
For those that say they should just pocket the money because they are not close, if you sign a good player two years ago, and then two good ones last year, you are "close".....and then your argument is moot. At some point, you should apply your resources. And right now, they are not fully doing so.
Posted 30 December 2013 - 11:43 AM
It's incredible to me that someone would actually pay for garbage analysis like that. I think we just write this one off to, "consider the source," and move on.
BINGO! (but I think it is free)
The other inane thing about this, is to try to judge off-seasons with 3 months plus left before opening day and arguably the top 5 SP FAs and a bunch of position player FAs still out there...

Well, in fairness, you judged him on ops in this thread.......we all disagree on that one, clearly. Since the yanks have infinite money, the cost is really irrelevant.
I don't get that. The Yanks don't have infinite money. It is more than other teams, but it is finite. And his contract will limit what they do elsewhere.
Posted 30 December 2013 - 12:40 PM

While it is technically true that the Yankee's don't have infinite money, for all practical purposes they do. They have $1B (yes that is a B as in Billion) in revenue, so they can spend as much as they desire. Their only true limiting factor is their stated desire to get below the luxury tax threshold.
Posted 30 December 2013 - 01:17 PM

have you seen the Yankees be limited recently? You do know they have a billion or so in revenue? Two or three useless contracts won't stop them from doing what they want. Only a self imposed limit will......which would surprise me if true.

Standard Chartered gets crystal ball out
Standard Chartered Bank has this week released its latest research report, which sets out the bank's predictions for the coming year. Kipp takes a quick look at the main bits.
December 13, 2010 2:55 by Samuel Potter
"2011 will be characterised by an uneven recovery in the world economy, leading different authorities to adopt diverging policies. This may raise conflicts and uncertainties, but also bring opportunities."
Okay, so as predictions go it's not exactly groundbreaking. But what you've just read is the one sentence summary of this week's Global Focus Report from Standard Chartered Bank. Brilliantly entitled "2011 – the year ahead", the report actually offers a bit more information than that sentence suggests.
As Kipp regularly says, we don't hold much truck with economic forecasts, but we do respect people who stick their neck on the line. So we've been through Standard Chartered's report, and to save you the trouble; here are the key points we've taken away:
- At a global level, it's a tale of two economies, really. The West will be struggling with "debt, deflation and deleveraging," leaving the US, for instance, with a below trend recovery "bordering on stagnation." Europe, meanwhile, faces the possibility of the euro's collapse. The other side of the story is the East and emerging economies, which will drive more than two thirds of the world's economic growth.
- At the Middle East and North African level, Standard Chartered sees growth across the region, but no boom. However, it points out the countries within the region vary wildly.
- Lebanon is expected to continue growing, but more slowly. The report said recent growth has been "extraordinary."

The Fairmont San Francisco not only swaddles overnight guests in sumptuous comforts and grandly decorated suites, but also serves as the site for performances and conventions. Amid gilded, ornate adornments, linebacker-sized bouquets and glossy marble columns lead eyes to boxy relief patterns bedecking the ceilings and gold curlicues encrusting the archways. Patterned floors evoke an exotic feel while stretching between damask walls striped with fringed curtains. For the past 20 years, the hotel has made environmental friendliness one of its priorities. In June 2010, with the help of Marshall's Farm, roughly 50,000 residents moved into beehives adjacent to the hotel's thousand-square-foot herb garden—an effort to restore and support the waning bee population. Those dining at the Fairmont, therefore, get to indulge in the taste of house-sourced herbs and honey brought to their mouths by humanely raised spoons.
Saban Theatre has been entertaining audiences since 1930, when it was one of old Hollywood's premiere film palaces. The art deco theatre, then named the Fox Wilshire, attracted its fair share of cinema legends. In 1953, the stars of Hollywood turned out for the premiere of Marilyn Monroe and Lauren Bacall's film, ¬How to Marry a Millionaire. Walt Disney arrived at the theater later that year to exhibit the fist widescreen Donald Duck cartoon, which required subtitles for non-avian audience members.
In 1981, the theater's owners chose to shift from film to live performance. They renovated the building, converted the auditorium into a stage venue, and changed the name to Saban Theatre. Since then, the venue has hosted performances from the likes of Richard Pryor, Billy Crystal, and Sting. Even with its modern headliners, the theater still echoes Tinsel Town's Golden Age with its ornate plasterwork and grand sculptures.
Originally built in the late 1800s as a vaudeville theater and then seeing time as a German film theater in the 1950s, today Bogart's stands as a portal to a world of live music. Six bars stand at the ready to keep rocking bodies hydrated, and three concert-viewing levels ensure pristine sightlines so that lead singers can have midconcert staring contests with anyone they choose.
Comedy is often used as one way of speaking truth to power; the work of Public Citizen is another. The nonprofit lobbies Washington on behalf of everyday citizens on economic, healthcare, and environmental issues. Stand Up for Main Street adds a panoply of familiar and funny voices to the chorus behind their good works in a comedy benefit show. Ray Romano headlines with the charisma and humor that made Everybody Loves Raymond as popular as I Love Lucy, Love Boat, and all but one of history's top puppy-cam feeds. In an ingratiatingly mopey, Queens-accented voice, Romano goes beyond sitcom surfaces in his live act to draw up takes on family life and longtime marriage that remain self-deprecating and slightly offbeat even after decades of fame.
The Hershey Theatre, conceived in 1933 by noted philanthropist and chocolatier Milton S. Hershey, stands as an opulent tribute to the performing arts. Taking architectural cues from Saint Mark's Basilica in Venice, the foyer's towering arches gleam with golden paint and crystal chandeliers. The blue-and-gold mosaic that leads to the main seating area is the masterwork of two German artists who spent two years on its construction. Once inside the theater, audiences might think they've stepped onto the streets of Venice thanks to the atmospheric ceiling, stonework facades, and gondoliers paddling them to their seats. ####Bethel Woods Center for the Arts Music has permeated the 800 manicured acres where the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts has stood since 1969, when farmer Max Yasgur agreed to let love, peace, and harmony grow wild at the very first Woodstock festival. These days, the renowned outdoor venue and cultural center continues to attract the biggest acts in music to its pavilion stage. The open-air design ensures ample ventilation on the natural sloping lawn, and a roof protects up to 15,000 fans from inclement weather and the prying eyes of Cessna pilots.
Indie electropop duo Uh Huh Her lights up the stage with hypnotic, pulsating beats on a night that celebrates the release of its new album, Nocturnes, and draws attention to October's National Breast Cancer Prevention Month. The pair's dance-friendly vibe and swoon-friendly looks belie the sophistication of the melodies featured on their debut LP, a collaboration that draws from their former jobs as piano movers and diverse musical backgrounds. While ivory-tickler Camila Grey channels her classical training into soft and seductive synth phrases, Leisha Hailey keeps the rhythm with aggressive bass licks honed during her time in '90s indie duo The Murmurs. Supporting songsmith Jarrod Gorbel kicks off the night with a set of earnest tunes that will have punks pogo-ing in slow, poetic cadences while he recites lyrics of quiet lament tattooed across his arms.

Marriage equality argument
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 03-26-2013 - 8:21pm
So the sole argument against marriage equality is that marriage is for procreation? Where exactly does that leave menopausal women? Or men with ED? Or the infertile?
I can not believe we are STILL having this discussion in 2013. I have noticed that it is generational though--many of boomers I know are against it. Gen Xers like myself and younger are generally in favor...

Turn on your critical thinking..
Seriously? That's laughable coming form you, but thanks for the tip.
Why is it a marriage should be a separate right than those who live single/solitary lives? Remove it all together is my thought on the subjct,
So, you are opposed to having any marrital rights? You are willing to give them all up.....everything that's already been stated in this thread, like next of kinship, insurance, inhertance, etc?
What's yours?
My thoughts on the subject is that ALL people, regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation should have the SAME rights when it comes to marriage.
Do you even have one or do you only see this as an equal right vs biblical right issue?
I am not sure what you are asking. I do not consider equal rights under the law to be a biblical issue at all.

Ok, I'll take that this is a glimpse of real life and we're all judgemental, bigoted folks b/c it seriously does take one to know one... That's what MIL says anyway and she's always right.
It isn't judgemental to call a spade a spade. Or in this specific case, calling someone who thinks gays don't deserve the same rights as straights a bigot. I call it like I see it. I'm not the one spewing intolerance, Jam. I'm really not judgemental at all, unless you're a moron. I have very little tolerance for abject stupidity...

No peach, Turn on your critical thinking.. Why is it a marriage should be a separate right than those who live single/solitary lives? Remove it all together is my thought on the subjct, What's yours? Do you even have one or do you only see this as an equal right vs biblical right issue?
Totally lost here. People are born single, but some of them get married. When they get married, they enter into a legal partnership. Some enter into Holy Matrimony or have their ceremony/union religiously blessed. Single people don't enter into a legal partnership. Are you saying that since single people don't have a legal partner that no one should? That, for instance, if there is no husband/wife, the parent remains the "next of kin" for legal purposes for a single person, that a married woman ought not to have her husband as "next of kin?" It should remain the father?
I understand that you may have religious qualms about homosexual behavior. You may also have religious qualms about divorce and remarriage. There are prohibitions about both in the Bible. There are many people who are civilly married who are not considered married in the eyes of the Church. Why can't gay marriages be like that -- recognized by the state, but not by the church?

When Evening Falls on Bucharest or Metabolism: Locarno Review
The Bottom Line
Not quite vintage Porumboiu but thought-provoking Romanian arthouse fare nonetheless.
Locarno Film Festival
Corneliu Porumboiu
Diana Avramut, Bogdan Dumitrache, Mihaela Sirbu
The cerebral and absurdly witty vision of Romanian auteur Corneliu Porumboiu is applied to the world of filmmaking in his film about making a film that was shot on film.
LOCARNO -- A film director starts an affair with a supporting actress and then decides to write a last-minute nude scene for her in When Evening Falls on Bucharest or Metabolism (Cand se lasa seara peste Bucuresti sau metabolism), the third feature of Romanian auteur Corneliu Porumboiu that again takes a clichéd-seeming premise and carefully proceeds to turn it on its head through logic, absurd humor and the consumption of vast quantities of cigarettes.
The director's Cannes Camera d'Or-winning debut 12:08 East of Bucharest and its follow-up, Police, Adjective, both investigated words and meanings but his latest explores film grammar instead, with the filmmaker's trademark long, almost immobile takes pushed to a new extreme, with the entire 89-minute project consisting of under 20 shots.
Likely to be received in a more divisive manner than his previous works, the nonsensically-titled Evening, which feels like it's a draft or two away from something great, should nonetheless prove alluring for festivals and cinephiles familiar with the Romanian New Wave or attracted by the film-centric topic and rigorous execution. It world premiered at Locarno, where it was one of the few new films shot and shown on 35mm.
Porumboiu opens with a take that lasts an entire roll of film and was shot from the backseat of a car in which the driver turns out to be a director, Paul (Bogdan Dumitrache). His passenger's Alina (Diana Avramut), an actress with a small role in the film Paul's in the middle of shooting. He explains to her that he shoots on film because it imposes a limit of 11 minutes for a single shot because a roll of film can't contain more -- with digital he wouldn't have any limits and would be lost, though the result might be even more life-like. Clearly, Porumboiu directly addresses the audience through Paul here, as the character explains things in a carefully timed shot that serves to illustrate his point.
STORY: Five Things That Set The Locarno Film Fest Apart
Indeed, the meta-textual presence of the director constantly hovers over the proceedings, with Paul explaining film techniques Porumboiu goes on to employ in his film about the making of Paul's film.
A repeated scene in which the fictional filmmaker and Alina rehearse the nude scene -- seen twice in two 10-minute long single takes, with the latter actually on location -- shows how much care, artifice and fine-tuning go into creating something that's supposedly true to life and natural. And Porumboiu cheekily follows this up with a variation on the rehearsed scene that supposedly happens in "real life," i.e. the lives of Porumboiu's fictional creations, Paul and Alina, essentially suggesting he went through much of the same process with his real-life actors to achieve that and indeed all the other scenes.
But the actors mainly remain mouthpieces for Porumboiu's views rather than fully independent and realistic characters and there's too much material that feels tangential, including a long restaurant scene in which the influence of chopsticks on Chinese cuisine is discussed in the director's familiar, lightly absurd way of philosophizing about the world. The dialog's never boring but it doesn't directly tie in with the rest of the film-focused material and the scene's illusion of reality -- supposedly, as Paul explains, augmented by not cutting up the action into various shots -- is undermined by a total lack of ambient sound or establishing shots. Absent these elements, the actors look like actors sitting on a sound or theater stage rather than in an actual restaurant.
STORY: Locarno Film Festival Unveils Competition Lineup
This cerebral cinematic hall of mirrors is ably performed by Dumitrache and Avramut, who appear in almost every scene together and who tear through entire swaths of back-and-forth dialog with conviction, and the film does feature a doozie of a closing sequence that involves characters watching a -- gasp! -- digitally filmed medical film that's full of motion (if not emotion).
Technically, the film's in line with other recent Romanian productions.

Originally written on Knicks Journal | Last updated 10/14/14
With key offensive contributors from the likes of J.R. Smith, Steve Novak, Kenyon Martin, and Chris Copeland in Saturday night's win over the Jazz, it was difficult to shed light on any of the outings the Knicks' starters had.That said, Iman Shumpert's efforts throughout the contest should boldly stand out most. The versatile sophomore has seemingly struggled since returning from an ACL tear. Since making his comeback in mid-January, Shumpert has undoubtedly paled in comparison to the player most remember him as from his rookie campaign.His offensive movements have been ever so tentative, to say the least. He sometimes gingerly makes his way to the basket, and when he doesn't, Shumpert settles for long-range jumpers. Those clearly aren't his forte.While coming off the bench in Mike D'Antoni's rotation last year, Shumpert could be seen as an explosive guard who enjoyed running the ball up a bit. Such a style of play, and such a role, seems to suit him much...

Insider journalism several times over, this enjoyably breezy portrait of genius architect Frank Gehry is drawn doodle-style by first-time documentarian Sydney Pollack, a Hollywood player with ready access to impartial testimony from patron saint moguls (Diller, Eisner, Ovitz) and a close friend of the subject for 30 years. Narrating in the first person, Pollack claims identification not only with the architect's artistic anxiety ("avoidance, delay, denial"), but with his challenge to achieve personal expression despite commercial restraints (i.e., the monumental Guggenheim in Bilbao is Gehry's The Way We Were, the Santa Monica Place Mall his Havana, Sabrina, Electric Horseman, Random Hearts, et al.). The friends tread lightly on one another's soft spots, including the source of Gehry's 1950s name change from Goldberg, and the admiration becomes infectious in the visual exploration of Gehry's perverse body of work, whose curves and crevices Pollack's camera seems to caress like a lover. The sensual mood seems to turn even talking heads into construction sites while both men appear as endearingly malleable structures: Gehry as the cubist hockey fan, alternately arrogant and shy, bossy and passive; Pollack as equally privileged and ordinary, neurotic and gregarious.

Celtics win preseason finale; 100-86 over Nets
BOSTON (AP) -- Rookie Marcus Smart scored 16 points and Jared Sullinger had 15 with 17 rebounds to lead the Boston Celtics to a 100-86 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night in the final preseason game for both teams.
Gerald Wallace had 12 points for Boston, which finished the preseason 5-3 with its second straight win over Brooklyn.
Mason Plumlee led the Nets with 15 points and 11 boards. Mirza Teletovic also scored 15 points.
Brooklyn, which didn't play any of its expected regulars, went 4-2 in the preseason.
The Celtics led 58-44 at halftime.
Boston trailed by five early in the second quarter before going on a 26-4 run over a 6 1/2 minute stretch to grab a 55-38 lead on James Young's floating jumper. Wallace had eight points in the spree and Smart seven.
The Celtics pushed their lead to 71-48 on Marcus Thornton's free throw 3 minutes into the third before the Nets scored 10 unanswered points. Playing with reserves for most of the game that was the only real run Brooklyn made in the second half.
Boston led 86-68 after three quarters and never had its advantage fall below 10 points.
The building was less than half full, with the upper bowl nearly empty.
Nets: Center Brook Lopez was out again, resting a mild sprained right foot. Forward Kevin Garrett make the trip after missing Sunday's game with a stomach virus and guard Deron Williams rested.
Celtics: Coach Brad Stevens said point guard Rajon Rondo is increasing his activity in practice, playing with padding to protect a bone he broke during the offseason. Stevens didn't update if he'd be ready to play in the season opener after saying earlier in the week that he may be ready.
The teams meet again in the regular-season opener at TD Garden next Wednesday.

text: Interviews with the Community Resource Persons (CRPs) of SERP (Society for Elimination of Rural Poverty) at Hyderabad Interview with Meenakshi Community Resource Person Meenakshi: I am from Patapatnam mandal, Srikakulam district, from a remote tribal village. I have come here as a farmer. You asked how NPM ( Non Pesticidal Management) agriculture was introduced. This was introduced into the villages through Indira Kranthi Patham and mahila sanghas. It was spread in our villages through video programmes and kala jathra. First we thought that NPM agriculture is not possible. Even when we were spending thousands of rupees we were not getting any income. We were getting debt ridden and sick. When we heard about NPM agriculture (through messages in the CDs, through dance programmes and kala jathra) we doubted its feasibility. We wondered how it could be possible? Earlier, it was thought that everything has become polluted except for mother's milk. I heard that now even mother's milk has become 100% polluted all over the state. This has shocked me. Imagine mother's milk is also getting poisoned. If you see the newspaper you will find an increase in number of deaths of the infants. Why is this so? Mother's milk has become poisoned because of the food we eat – this we came to know through NPM campaign. With the advent of NPM programme, I was filled with enthusiasm. It was a challenge to grow crops without pesticides. We were told that you have to grow crops using leaves of trees in the surroundings of the village, tank silt, etc. We doubted whether this would be possible. Even with an investment of thousands of rupees we were not getting good income and falling into debts. Farmers were committing suicide by consuming the poison that they were spraying in their fields. To see whether NPM was possible I took up a trial in one acre. I wanted my husband's consent which he did not give. Then I threw a challenge to him – I said if you agree we will both cultivate 50 cents each. I will not use pesticides and use green leaves and manure. My husband said, "even with thousands of rupees of expenditure we are not getting good yields, how will you cultivate with green leaves, tank silt, concoctions, etc?" I said, let us try and we both had our 50 cents plot each. First I undertook summer ploughing. This (NPM agriculture) has some non-negotiables. The first one is summer ploughing. This was done only in my share of land to test the efficiency. After summer ploughing we had community bonfires. I followed these methods for the paddy crop. After the community bonfire I used the leaves from the trees available in the neighbourhood – neem, butea, cassia, custard apple, vitex, etc. and prepared the nursery. After that I undertook seed treatment. I sowed the seeds after the rains. I gathered the leaves from the surroundings. With my labour as investment I worked hard for two days to do this. Then I got the main field puddle ready so that the green matter/leaves start decomposing. By the time final puddling was done the nursery was ready. While transplanting, the tips of the seedlings were cut. Alleys of two 1 feet were made at an interval of every 3 meters. The challenge between my husband and me was that if I get lesser yield than him then I will pay him the loss. I agreed to this and was willing to take loans, if necessary, to pay for the loss. When I made alleys my husband said that because of this the yield in my plot would decrease. I did not agree with him and again reiterated that I will pay him the loss. There is a plant called Azolla. It is widely available in the tanks. If you cultivate it in your field or near your house, it is like having a urea factory. If you apply Azolla, there is no need for urea. I applied Azolla and did not use any urea. My husband used urea. With Azolla there is another advantage – the weed growth is very less. Thus I saved the expenditure on weeding. I used yellow plates, alleys, etc. On the borders of the plot I had castor and marigold. I also sowed long beans around the plot. This has given me an additional income of Rs. 200/ after fulfilling the vegetable needs of my household. Like this I followed all the steps, which my husband did not follow. I did not use DAP; instead I used Ghana Jeevamrutha, which is a mixture of cow dung and urine – 100 kg of cow dung, sufficient quantity of urine, 2 kgs black jaggery, 2 kgs flour of legumes, all these ingredients are made into balls. This is kept in shade for a week and used like DAP (diammonium phosphates fertilizer granules). Earlier we were not aware of Polam Badi ( Field School). After NPM started we were introduced to Polam Badi. Earlier farmers would walk on the bund surrounding the field but not enter the field. Farmer is not actually aware of the field situation. In Polam Badi farmers are formed into four groups. Each groups goes to four different corners of the field and observe the situation – whether the crop needs water, what stage the crop is in, are there any diseases or any pests. All these can be known very clearly. Then my husband's crop was infected by blast disease. I was able to recognize this because I had seen the books and discussed these things with CA, VA and others. Because there was competition between us, I knew that if I told him anything about this he would take it otherwise. So, I met CA, VA and told them to conduct the next Polam Badi in his field (it is done in a different field each week). They told my husband. My husband did not follow any (NPM) methods, there were no alleys. He had applied urea and DAP and chemical pesticides of about Rs. 200. The crop was infected with blast disease. A concoction was prepared with locally available vitex and negundo leaves and was sprayed in the field. After the Polam Badi we sat beneath a tree and made a plan. The disease was identified and the concoction was recommended. The crop was nearing harvesting. My expense was only Rs. 700. This was on Ghana Jeevamrutha concoctions. My husband spent Rs. 1500 on urea and DAP and Rs. 200 on pesticides; the total expenditure was Rs. 1700. My expenditure was only Rs. 700 (as detailed above). My crop yield without any chemicals was 15 bags, while my husband obtained 12 bags. I obtained Rs. 11,000 for my produce; while my husband got Rs. 9000. I got Rs. 4000 more than my husband. I understood that not only a male farmer but a woman also can take up this (NPM) 2 agriculture. I got the confidence. I came to the stage where I could tell other women that we are farmers and that we can take up this agriculture. I got Rs. 4000 additional than my husband and I used this money for taking more land on lease. During this time I brought together all the poor, single women in the village (who were not in SHGs) together and formed a sangha. I trained these sangha women on preparation of various concoctions. I opened a bank account for them. Now, if anyone in the village needs concoction these women sell it to them. After Polam Badi the farmers ask them to prepare various concoctions for pests and diseases and they are able to earn an income of Rs. 30 per day. Like SHGs for women, now we are also forming sanghas for farmers. We get an account opened for them and train two leaders from each sangha. We are very much indebted to NPM agriculture. Because of this we are able to take up agriculture with very little investment and realize high yield. We are getting good and nutritious food for everyone. Similarly, we are in a situation where we are able to protect the health of everyone. Suresh (Q): What is the knowledge that you gained from the farmers? Jeevamrutham and others are based on knowledge obtained from outsiders? Meenakshi: Yes, from the farmers who earlier stored seeds we learned seed storage. Flowers of nooru varahalu, pulla dabba leaves, markers nut, which are available locally in our area are used for seed storage. We are not depending on the market for seeds. We organize vigyan melas (science exhibitions) for farmers. Meenakshi: NPM agriculture will provide a good future to those who practice it. Farmers have used so many pesticides until now and everyone has acquired either one or the other disease. Nobody is perfectly healthy. If you ponder over it, NPM agriculture is dependant on locally available resources; it doesn't need any investment. It gives good food, free of all toxic substances. Thus several diseases will decrease. Because there is no need for investment it will be continued forever. We are confident of this because we practiced it. We took it up and taking us as role model several people are following these methods. These methods have been practiced traditionally also. This is not something new. The word NPM may be new. This is what traditional farmers did. This will continue forever. Ends here A low resolution copy is provided at CED. You can order for a DVD for your training programme from email@example.com 3

UFC 107: BJ Penn proves peerless as 155lb champion
BJ Penn showed he is peerless last night in Memphis, Tennessee, dismantling Diego Ssanchez in a devastatingly one-sided battle which befits the man who is clearly king of the lightweights.
Sanchez was hurt badly in the opening moments of the bout, down from a right hand, and then weathered a barrage of punches which could easily have resulted in the stoppage of the fight, inside the first minute.
I must say I had thought Sanchez would be open to Penn's right hand in this fight. That early onslaught took much of the bite out of the tenacious challenger.
But Sanchez recovered, although it set a pattern for the fight, the challenger ineffective at taking the former tw0-weight UFC champion to the ground. It was an object lesson in Penn's brilliance as a mixed martial artist. He is not known as 'The Prodigy' for nothing. We might recall he was BJJ world champion after only three years of full-time training, and the man from Hilo, Hawaii, possesses extraordinary skills.
Sanchez, fighting out of the south paw stance, was saved more than once by his great conditioning, but the beating ended inside the champi0nship distance, when Penn, already dominant, elected to kick and opened a three-inch horizontal gash along Sanchez's forehead.
It was over, on the doctor's orders. Sanchez ended the fight with his nose mis-shapen, his lip and forehead cut, his face bruised, but most of all…his heart broken. Only his fighting spirit kept him going.
Penn is 31 tomorrow, and his dominance shows no sign of abating. Can he be defeated at 155lbs ? Doubtful. Very doubtful, in this form.
"I always wanted to fight Diego Sanchez. I knew for years he wanted to fight me. All respect to him," said Penn. A crushed Sanchez responded: "This happens, man. That's the best BJ Penn that stepped into the ring. I'll be back." No doubt about both those assessments from Sanchez. But this was a mixed martial arts humiliation of the highest order meted out by a great champion, on a very credible challenger. That's how good Penn is.
MIR: Get well, I'm coming for you Brock Lesnar
In the heavyweight contest between Frank Mir and Chieck Kongo, the Las Vegan showed exactly why he had put on the extra pounds, and leaner muscle, knocking down the Frenchman with a powerful overhand left and submitting the taller man 1min 12 seconds into the first round.
Mir insisted Kongo's erect stance played a part in his game plan, which involved looking for a sweeping overhand strike-cum-hook to put him away. He did exactly that, and after submitting Kongo by Guillotine, had the class to celebrate quietly as his opponent recovered…
"I hope Brock Lesnar is healthy. Get healthy because I'm coming for you, and I'm going to hurt you. And that will be the end of it," said Mir. There is a danger, however, of Lesnar-Mir III never happening, if the Minnesotan man-mountain is unable to come back from his illness.
Elsewhere at the UFC 107 event, there were powerful victories for Jon Fitch (points decision), Stefan Struve (points) and Kenny Florian (Summission 2mins 19secs into the second round). Excellent event to end the year.

The Factual Basis
Hang around most Arizona courts for a little while, and you're likely to see a plea fall through for lack of a factual basis. For those readers who don't know what I'm talking about, Arizona's rules of criminal procedure require that a court determine whether a factual basis exists for each element of the crime to which a defendant is pleading before it can enter judgment on a guilty plea. Evidence constituting the factual basis can come from any part of the record or from a defendant's statements. There's no reasonable doubt standard for a guilty plea. Instead, the court just has to find strong evidence of guilt. In a few courts, the plea will simply have a provision that says, "factual basis taken from police report … Read entire article »

Wonder Dog
This story is absolutely unbelievable. At least a judge finally put an end to it, but how many years have people convicted by such blatantly false evidence had to serve? If these people were convicted by overwhelmingly obvious sham evidence, why weren't all of the jury verdicts overturned? I'm assuming it was the bulk of the State's evidence in each of the cases, which I think it is a fair assumption. Tracking over water? Picking up a scent six months later? The officer should be in jail, and the prosecutors should be poster children for why absolute immunity is a bad idea. I don't know all of the details, and I know I'm making the above statements without investigating the cases and writing in anger. … Read entire article »

Don't Do It
I couldn't agree with this more. I've had a fair amount of contact with law students at ASU through moot court judging, hiring clerks and research assistants, and just being an alumnus. I've met a lot of bright, articulate law students. I haven't met a lot of impassioned law students who want to be advocates and truly believe in what they do. Most of the law students I meet, like most of my fellow law students when I was in law school, don't know what they want to do. They just want a job, and any job will do. Maybe that works if you want to write wills or review contracts, but in criminal defense, that won't cut it. It's a calling. It's stressful, … Read entire article »

Because There Is No Other Crime Here…
We have time to charge and convict people of things like this. Basically, Bishop Rick Painter of Phoenix's Cathedral of Christ the King was convicted of a criminal noise violation for ringing the bells at his church. Here is more information about the case, with a video. Here is the judgment and sentence order, and here is a press release from Alliance Defense Fund, the attorneys he's retained for his appeal. If you want to check out the church's website and listen to what may be the bells that got him in trouble, click here. The law he was convicted of breaking was section 23-12 of the Phoenix City Code, "Creation of unreasonably loud and disturbing noises prohibited." It provides that "[s]ubject to the provisions of … Read entire article »

A Tricky Situation
Article 2, Section 22 of the Arizona Constitution says that "[a]ll persons charged with crime shall be bailable by sufficient sureties, except . . .

Knowing that, what do you say when you know your client's new offense was allegedly committed while he was out on bond for another felony offense and the judge asks, "counsel, do you have any recommendations regarding bond?" Does it matter if the same judge is assigned to the client's other case and presumably knows that the client was out on bail when he or she supposedly committed the new offense? … Read entire article »

Double Jeopardy Is Okay…If You Are a Native American
If you are Native American and commit a criminal offense on an Indian reservation, it can be a crime in both the Indian community and the federal system. As a result of the United States Supreme Court's decisions on the matter, the Indian Civil Rights Act, and subsequent legislation, Indians can go to jail (technically, there are no prisons on Indian reservations) and federal prison for the same crime. They can also be fined twice for the same criminal act. The Supreme Court's rationale is based on their interpretation of the source of Indian governments' powers and how they interact with the U.S. Constitution. The Supreme Court was also understandably concerned that an Indian could quickly plead out in an Indian jurisdiction to avoid federal prosecution. This often leads … Read entire article »

Talking to Civil Attorneys
Because my practice is limited to criminal law, I don't often work with civil practice lawyers. When I do, it's usually because one of my clients is being sued civilly for something related to his or her criminal case. I have a few clients in that situation right now. When the attorneys involved in those civil matters call me, I know they are civil practice attorneys before they can finish their first sentence. This is because they always introduce themselves as "so-and-so" from "such-and-such, such-and-such, and such-and-such." They don't say "from the firm of such-and-such, such-and-such, and such-and-such." I suspect that's because their venerable firms are such well-known institutions in the Arizona legal community that I should instantly know just what they're talking about.
